Art Crawl!!!
Okay, that's why she looked so familiar. I like her better as Ellen than as Nina.

Double greens means exactly what you thought.
A script starts white, then blue, pink, yellow, and green (on our show). But the colors only begin when the shooting draft is issued (prior to which it's just white), and they go in a cycle. So when you're shooting triple yellows....yeah....
The shooting script goes out to the director for prep - usually 7 days before he/she starts. By the end of the 13eps, the directors were getting 4 days prep.
"sides" are the script pages that will be shot that day. They are printed on small pages and the cast and crew all have them in their pockets - unless you're an actress in which case you don't get pockets.
Sides are never coallated. We had FOUR colors in our sides on day. That's a comical first for me. I wanted to keep it and frame it.
And if you'd like I'll get the folks together for the pilot podcast.

That would be outstanding!
I can't bat my eyelashes like Juliebird, but if I had a way to get it there I'd buy the beer...

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Smallville:
So not only could they not get someone who was actually blond to play Oliver Queen, they apparently got someone who couldn't act. His scene with Lionel was particular painful because of the huge and incredibly obvious acting gulf.
And what the hell is up with Ollie ordering people kidnapped and interogated?
I realize this is a Superman problem in general, but it didn't really occur to me until I saw the "super breath intake" special effects, how exactly do people breathe when Clark does that in an enclosed space? One would think that would cause a serious drop in air pressure until he finished exhaling.
Supernatural:
Thought it was an okay episode. Good to see Alona Tal getting work. I was so expecting to hear "blessed crossbow bolt" instead of brass knife when they were discussing how to kill the Raksasha, though I guess the latter was a little easier to come by and wikipedia doesn't mention any way of killing mythological raksashas, so I guess it's as good an idea as any.
The exchange sumi quoted was hilarious.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
"sides" are the script pages that will be shot that day. They are printed on small pages and the cast and crew all have them in their pockets - unless you're an actress in which case you don't get pockets.
Is that why one sees so few flat-chested actresses anymore?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I love that everytime the evil clown appears it looks completely different.
Really? I thought it looked exactly the same each time.
And what the hell is up with Ollie ordering people kidnapped and interogated?
Seriously, what the hell? Is this ANYTHING like his character at all?
Thought it was an okay episode.
I thought it was much better than last week's. This is the show I heard about, where two dudes find and kill demons. Hindu demons, even!! Go Kripke. Although I thought it was a wasted opportunity to use Hindu demons as clowns. Surely, the clowns could be something else.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Seriously, what the hell? Is this ANYTHING like his character at all?
I think even Grell-era Ollie would DIY it.
